[R-sig-ME] (no) significance value (gl)mer

[Ben Bolker]

  For what it's worth, I've lately been playing with the FAQ; a (*very*
slightly) updated version is at
https://rawgit.com/bbolker/mixedmodels-misc/master/glmmFAQ.html  (source
at https://github.com/bbolker/mixedmodels-misc/blob/master/glmmFAQ.rmd ).
   At some point when I think the new version is sufficiently improved
over the old one to warrant it, I'll replace the old (wikidot.com)
version with a pointer to the Github repo.

  Comments (and pull requests) welcome!
